“You need to be content with small steps. That’s all life is. Small steps you take everyday so when you look down the road, you see how much distance you have covered. Distance is wisdom, it is beauty, it is owning the bruises, scars, and triumphs like sacred warpaint. Respect your precious journey, it is who you are beyond the illusion of time.”

Hello. I’m Jenny Ania

I have been a spiritual seeker for most of my life and it’s my honor to share the journey with you. My path began in the enchanting landscapes of West Australia, where I felt a profound connection to Nature and her mystical wonders. As a highly sensitive empath in my childhood, I naturally tapped into the realms of 'non-physical' consciousness, subtle body energetics, and spiritual guides. Yet, my clear link into this realm was interrupted by the onset of complex family trauma, prompting me to close down and channel my energies into competitive gymnastics as a coping mechanism. Sport became my life raft. But, at age 17, I suffered a broken back in a gymnastics competition and my life raft began to sink. Once immobilized and unable to exercise, my body morphed into 'the fat suit.' Repressed emotional energy flooded back in. I found myself at war with myself, secretly battling depressive anxiety, body shame, bulimia & food addiction.

Paradoxically, despite grappling with considerable self-disgust during this period, I sensed a deeper inner self directing my journey. Amidst the chaotic backdrop of negative self-talk, I heeded this guidance, ultimately using 'light meditation' to mend my fractured back and sidestep surgery.

In the subsequent years, I committed to unraveling personal trauma and seeking my ‘true’ self under the mud of conditioning and the ‘pain body.’ In time my shadow and I finally became allies and the doors of perception opened once again!

As my journey continued, I had the opportunity to train with elders from elders in indigenous traditions in Australia, Polynesia, and Scotland, collaborated with renowned neuroscientists like Dr. Joe Dispenza, and trained with gifted breathwork practitioners, and Soul Regression Therapists. (I am especially grateful for the work of Dolores Cannon and Dr. Michael Newton)

During this chapter, I began to see my life not as a singular event, but a mosaic of multiple lifetimes, collective energies, all arriving in the present awareness. I felt the presence of a grand Divine Intelligence, a Great Observer, a Great Spirit within me and knew this was the fabric of all life. I understood that we are all ONE behind the personality..and we are LOVE…or at least that was the human words I had at the time.

As time passed, I found myself living in conscious community at The Findhorn Foundation, where I delved into the wisdom of luminaries such as Barbara Brennen, C.G. Jung, and Joseph Campbell. As I honed my own skills with increasing discipline, I underwent profound shifts in awareness and spiritual development.

Motivated by a desire to share this knowledge, I made a conscious decision to ground my insights in a more formalized manner. Upon returning to the US, I pursued college degrees in neuropsychology and comparative religion, alongside certifications in massage therapy, holistic nutrition, hypnotherapy, breathwork, and somatic trauma release techniques.

In 2007, I entered into private practice, founded The Spirit Root, LLC, and dedicated myself to the role of a full-time healer and retreat facilitator. However, in 2020, confined to my home, I received guidance to translate all this work into an online format. The culmination of these varied teachings has been carefully shaped into a series of courses, giving rise to the LIATI INSTITUTE.

For me, this work is about coming back home to ourselves, back into wholeness. It’s about dropping our false conditioning we have acquired by trying to fit in and survive, remembering our instinctive gifts, reclaiming the forgotten, neglected parts of ourselves, and embracing deep intimacy with life. I look forward to connecting with you and exploring the adventure.

Blessed Be!
